Based on what you have said, it sounds like the medications are working. Urinating less than usual is not a typical allergic reaction. Unless you have noted that Boo hasn't urinated in 18-24 hours I wouldn't really start worrying yet. Also, typically in cases where they aren't urinating due to a blockage, you will see them hovering inside the litter box, straining, crying, trying to urinate. I would say to keep on giving the medication. If you don't see any urine after a full day, start thinking about going back to the vet.
